Lord Cardigan

You know those meals that taste so darn good that life stops around you just for a moment - the type of meal that you can't eat slow enough as you'll be devastated when its over...

Well Lord Cardigan served me up one of those meals - a meal so good that it's earned the title as the new fave.

Lord Cardigan is local gem tucked away in Albert Park. Oozing elegance whilst remaining unpretentious, the restaurant serves up Modern Australian cuisine with European and Asian influences. The service is as impressive as the menu, making any dining experience feel as though it were a special occasion.

The dish that stole my heart was none other than the mushroom tortellini with sautéed mushrooms and crispy sage ($38). It was the perfect balance of flavours, an incredible array of textures and each element of the dish was cooked to perfection. Probably one of the best pasta dishes which has ever been past my mouth!

Whilst the price tag on many of the menu item isn't exactly budget friendly, Lord Cardigan also offers special deals at very affordable prices. For lunch on Thursdays through to Saturdays, Lord Cardigan offers a main meal with a glass of wine for only $29. And on Sundays, $25 will get you a seasonal roast at lunchtime.

Whatever the day or special may be, I'm sure I'll find some excuse to go back and dine at Lord Cardigan again soon.

Service: 5/5

Decor: 4.5/5

Total: 14.5/5
Verdict: The New Fave - put it as number one on the To Do list

I once had a colleague tell me that every new place I tried was "my new fave”. While there may be a skerrick of truth to her statement, I blame it on living in Melbourne – one of the best food destinations of the world.

That being said, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned from a substandard feed - no one deserves to waste their calories on anything but mind-blowing, tongue tingling taste sensations.

Hence came the blog - a platform to explore the sensational, mediocre and life changing meals that Melbourne has to offer.
